I've been modelling, painting miniatures and wargaming since I was a wee lad in Swansea, this blog details some of my interests - I hope that you like it.
In 2010 I started a new modelling venture - building 40mm AWI/ACW terrain pieces and designing 28mm masters, which are then cast and available for sale from Grand Manner. - All original images and text are copyright of A. S. Harwood (Dampfpanzerwagon)

Stone Barn an on-line build part three

I have drybrushed and 'scrubbed' the stonework with various Greys and Creams. I think it is looking a little too stark at this point, but I will be 'washing' the model with various pale greys and earth colours once the roof is painted. I have tried to use a technique called 'extreme highlighting' (see the area around the main Barn doors) on some of the prominent stones which I think has worked well.

Although these photos do not show it, the various Black, Dark Brown and Cream basecoat colours have come through the first drybrushing and give the stone colour a 'warmer' tone.

About Me

Born and brought up in Swansea, South Wales, I now live in Droitwich with my wife Sue. My daughter Holly is now working as a teacher in Stourport. My son, Gary lives in Leomington Spa with his Wife Beckie and our new Grandson Finley, but I still think of myself as a 'Jack' (an in-joke known to those of a certain age who count Swansea as their home town). Like my Grandfather, my Father and Uncle, I have made models, painted toy soldiers and wargamed since I was a very young boy and now feel privileged that I have the time to dedicate to my hobby. This Blog is a great way recording how I have developed as a modeller, but it's not ALL about model making. I hope you enjoy it. Tony
